Strange isn't it, but politeness seems to be disappearing. Mind you, it also seems that many people are become increasingly unconscious (falling into an ever deeper waking sleep), perhaps that is part of the reason? Heh :) well I think your English is good.

Tennz is right, it might seem like politeness and superficiality are the same from what I commented. I am not a native English speaker and also my thoughts are not getting clear formulations all the time. I wish ... So, my point is I desire for good manners to be present so much more around me, in the country where I live now... Maybe this is the reason I got positive on politeness :) I wasn’t aware of your reply here either until now that I checked back on the web.

A bit odd. I agree with you about politeness. That is part of what I meant when I said I gave short answers. Merely a polite exchange. No point in offending people after all. Superficial people bother me less know than they used too. (Although it still bothers me). I tend to find from experience that the more you come to terms with yourself - the easier it becomes to accept others. Individual superficiality I guess is not as difficult to handle as mass (global) superficiality...heh... Hiya Attila, for some reason I don’t seem to be getting notification of comments. A bit odd.

Politness and being superficial, not the same thing. Borcsa I dont agree that being superficial has benefits I see politness can have the uses that you say.

Is in its nature to generate superficiality. On the other hand I find politeness - as the better side of this - to have positive roles too. Actually what came to my mind right now is that in many situations politeness generated a distance from certain people that afterwards turned out to be a good protection. This is just one of the non-obvious advantages, but there are a lot more. As far as other people's superficiality, yes, I admit it bothers me at times. There are also times when it doesn't. I guess it depends on my view. For ex. I know for sure that if those who I see as superficial in a situation are in fact holding me back, then they bother me. Essentially, let's say from an objective perspective, the 'bother' here is entirely my problem. But it is not easy to cope with that. So, it can be solved faster with a word or two ;) Small talk is obviously on the surface. Is in its nature to generate superficiality.
